South African beauty Tanit Phoenix (Lord of War, Gallowalker, Lost Boys : The Thirst) is said to be in talks to join Luke Goss for Death Race: Frankenstein Lives, the direct-to-video prequel to Universal Pictures’ Death Race remake, reports Geek Week. They add that Phoenix is believed to be the frontrunner to play Elizabeth Jane Case, a card girl for the fight matches, later a navigator when the prisoners are forced to test their driving skills, who develops a ‘close’ bond with Lucas. She’s in prison for accidentally killing her cop husband. Directed by Roel Renie (The Marine 2), the sequel goes behind cameras next month in South Africa.
